Drakes Place and Reservoir
The gardens incorporate lawn, wildflower and woodland wildflower areas around the reservoir, as well as shrubs, flower beds and large trees. The historic significance of Drake's Place includes the cascade and stream, which help to provide a peaceful and atmospheric space to enjoy.
Drake’s Place and Reservoir is a place where students, staff and the general public can go to relax, learn and volunteer. The space has also been awarded
Green Flag award since 2015. You can find out more about the free and publicly accessible £1.4 million restoration project on our
